Usually safe to start topping after the 3rd to 4th node.

I would have topped by now from the looks of it. I usually top once the plant gets around 5 nodes. If they have been happy and healthy, they will probably recover quickly. As long as you are in veg, you can usually top whenever.

Defoliate or not touch untill harvest?
Both autoflowers on diy cheap setup, not a proper one. They both have nice aromas and this is my first grow, the main question is, how much more i wait for harvest? The tall one is cherry pie auto, the small is royal dwarf auto. Seeds sprouted 23/08

Topping for scrog
I'm putting 3 plants into scrog net. Would it be best to keep these topped to produce 4 mains so I can spread them evenly sideways as opposed to the way I normally top for 8 mains? In a 4×4 tent.

Split Stalk Down Center
Stalk split down the center due to stressing it too hard too fast. I have it secured in place but it's about 3 weeks into flowed and I'm worried about its effect as well as if it can heal.

Topping Training :)
Hello everyone, I just repotted my baby into a 2 gallon bag yesterday. This is what it looks like. Just because of the height of my box (60”) I’m gonna top the plant once, then train it I think this is what I’m most comfortable in. Any better ideas ? + when to top !? :)

LST bij zaailing
Ben vandaag gestart met LST bij mijn fotoperiode van 24 dagen oud, die zonder training echt de hoogte in zou gaan. Ik hou van zo vroeg mogelijk starten met LST en de plant laag leggen. Nog kwekers die het zo doen? Alle tips welkom😁

New nodes after topping very small, should I top more?
I topped my plants a few days ago, but just the tips when the side nodes where just as little as a few mm. I've seen a lot of you topping like a whole bunch of the top. I mainlined my plants but I dont know if I should top them again so the nodes under the top become main nodes.
